Safety And Itegrity Alliance

I'm a supporter, I believe in the idea, but..... the reason this was started was to create some good coverage of racing, that there are tracks doing the right thing, and to show that we do care for the animals and people in this business, and to get everyone on the same footing when it comes to these issues. The Alliance does this but.... Keeneland, Saratoga, Monmouth, Del Mar were never the tracks giving the industry a black eye in the first place, and I would bet would have passed the test years ago. Wake me when they get around to looking at Mountaineer. When that track doesn't get approved the thought is players (us gamblers) shouldn't bet there. The trick is.... Mountaineer is one of the cheaper venues to bet as a player.... and seeing that not a lot of discussion has gone on around take out .... good luck getting people not to bet it. When something like this happens and tests the Alliance I'll be on the edge of my seat.
